An Apple a Day // Striped Sweater + Mini Skirt

I admit it, I was definitely the most extra person at the apple orchard. But I couldn't resist pulling out a quintessentially fall outfit that *aesthetically* (not necessarily *practically*) fit the occasion. And you know what? Zero regrets...even though it was over 80 degrees!

For the farm, I wanted a fun look that would complement my surroundings. That translated into poppy stripes, bold colors, and playful accessories. I also get major back-to-school vibes with this outfit, which perfectly fits in with the fall season as well.    

The below photo was taken right after I picked my favorite apple of the day. Isn't she a beaut? ...She tasted even better than she looked ;)

Pretty much as soon as it turned fall, my friends and I took a day trip to Wilkens Fruit & Fir Farm in Yorktown Heights, NY. We thought it'd be the perfect way to celebrate the change of seasons and get a change of scenery — and it totally was! As much as I love Manhattan, it was so refreshing to switch things up — even for just a few hours — and spend time in nature. The best part? It was a simple trip! 

We took a train from Grand Central Station and the ride only took about 45 minutes. We picked apples, snacked on apple cider donuts, enjoyed a wine tasting, and ended up hanging out in the adorable town of Peekskill before heading home. A perfect fall day in the books!
